Sloth Sanctuary.
Here is one more reason why the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica is the happiest place on Earth. Meet Matty, a baby three-toed sloth. He is the sanctuary's newest pride and joy, and is spreading happiness around with his hibiscus petals. Watch this heartwarming video of Matty giving Claire (a sloth handler and tour guide) a whole lot of cheer. MEET A BABY SLOTH & MORE CUTE NEWBORNS: ...
Sloths are well known for taking it easy. They never rush, and they almost never look stressed. They're one of nature's smiliest animals. Is it a coincidence that the most chilled-out creatures in the animal kingdom are among the cutest, or is there a correlation?

Sometimes they end up homeless due to urban sprawl, and sometimes they need medical attention. Lucky ones wind up at this sloth sanctuary, where those easy-going smiles are soon returned to their faces. ...

If watching the video below inspires you to learn more about Sloth Sanctuary or the furry darlings that live there, check out Sloth ...
Those cuddly tiger cubs and frolicking baby monkeys get plenty of oohs and ahhs, but what about about the sweet, slow-motion sloth? As our friends at Fit Bottomed Girls point out, we could learn a lot from these cuddly cuties. Just watch them share, eat their veggies, take naps and love up on each other. Could we stand to be a bit more sloth-like in those respects? You bet we could. In the meantime, we'll just sit back and enjoy the nearly unbearable cuteness of the sloths of the Aviaros Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica. Share ...
